• "Perhaps the greatest merit of “Breakin’ Mozart” is that the audience soon forgets that two different worlds meet together here: Mozart and break dance. Music and dance cater to each other from the beginning in a happily natural connection. The sounds and rhythms can be experienced directly in the bodies of the dancers, both astounding and enlightening: an “aha!” effect which never gets old, all the way to the end. The overture to the Marriage of Figaro and the Jupiter Symphony turn into physical kaleidoscopes, which are beautiful to look at and even would work in a musicological analysis of the score. The theme of Mozart’s music always contains life as it is. The search for happiness, longing for love, grief from loss. And the pure fun of simply being. The DDC understood this and together with Christoph Hagel, have created a work of sustaining validity."

  "There is yet another reason to praise Christoph Hagel: Breakin’ Mozart is an astoundingly harmonic interweaving of culture, sound and movement."
